MIS surgery is different from open spine surgery for many reasons. Literature suggests that MIS spine surgery can be quicker, safer and may offer a faster recovery time. Because of the smaller incision, MIS surgery reduces trauma to the muscles and soft tissues. Patients may benefit from:
- Smaller scars
- Reduced risk of muscle damage
- Reduced risk of infection
- Reduced pain
- Quicker recovery from surgery
- Shorter length of stay in the hospital.
- Reduced postoperative pain (pain from surgery)
Most spinal conditions can be treated via the minimally invasive approach, such as:
- Spinal decompression (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
- Spinal fusion
- pinal tumor resections
